Game Source Entertainment and Softstar Entertainment are stirring the pot with their latest release on Nintendo Switch, “Voice Love On Air,” a fresh Boys’ Love (BL) visual novel. Imagine stepping into the shoes of a male protagonist navigating romance and drama in a world where your choices matter. You’ll find yourself steering your character through budding romances with potential partners while also juggling the intricate role of a voice director for radio dramas—a unique mix that sets this game apart.
Let’s talk about your in-game persona: Aki. As Aki, you’re not just on a quest for love; you’re also tasked with managing the recording of BL dramas. Handpick your voice actors, direct their performances, and see how your choices shape the final output. With voice acting in Japanese and text in English, the true challenge lies in crafting the best dramas while keeping the studio financially afloat.
New to visual novels? Think of them as immersive storytelling games where your decisions branch out into different narrative paths. Some are straightforward, while others, like “Voice Love On Air,” offer crucial decision points affecting the storyline and your interactions. This game boasts a fully voice-acted cast and features four unique suitors for romantic escapades.
Financial management plays a key role, too. You’ll need to produce stellar BL dramas to pay off a hefty $200,000 studio debt each season. Your knack for discerning genuine emotion beneath spoken words is the magical touch this studio needs. Check in with the Project Manager app to track project details and enhance Aki’s abilities—Recognition, Profession, Communication, and Performance are your focus. Just don’t let fatigue hinder your progress!
The recording phase unfolds in four stages over five consecutive days: Check Details, Appoint, Table Read, and Record. Meeting each project’s goals is crucial, so ensure you’ve nailed Aki’s stats before diving into a recording to avoid mishaps or financial ruin. Make sure to study your project’s synopsis, contract, and script to ace every session.
Every project holds multiple outcomes based on decisions made—from selecting talents to guiding their performances. Each playthrough can lead to a different radio drama, offering ample replay value. Spread out over two years, you have plenty of time to let romance brew at your workplace. With a script running over 200,000 words, along with 20 songs, 30 CG scenes, and 20 dramas, there’s a lot to delve into.
Does the prospect of finding love while managing a drama studio excite you? This charming blend of romance and management is out now on Nintendo Switch, priced at $29.99. If you’re ready for a blend of creative vocations and heartwarming interactions, this game might just pull you in.
